Tip of the Day

The types of headaches experienced by people with CFS and FMS vary and are different from pre-illness headaches. Some are migraine-like, accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and noise. Others are experienced as severe pain behind the eyes, pressure at the base of the skull, sinus pain, or a sensation of brain swelling. Headaches may last for several hours or several days and may migrate to different areas of the head. Be sure to talk to your doctor about any headaches you may be experiencing.
